Description
If I ever made croissant dough, I would make a few ham and cheese croissants. When made from scratch, these are to die for. Rich, buttery, flaky croissant filled with cheesy ham. Perfect breakfast or snacks any time of the day.
Ingredients
Dough - 1/2 batch of my homemade dough will make 12 croissants
- 1 lb (500 g) Croissants dough or
- 1 lb (500 g) Danish pastry dough or
- 1 sheet (500 g) Puff Pastry
Filling
- 8 slices (200 g) Ham or cold cuts of your choice (thinly sliced, your choice of smoked or honey ham)
- 8 oz (100 g) Cheese slices cut into 4 each
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough - Roll out your chilled croissant dough into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough into triangles, about 4-5 inches wide at the base and 7 inches long.1 lb Croissants dough
- Add the Filling - Place one slice of ham and cheese on the wide end of each triangle.8 slices Ham or cold cuts of your choice, 8 oz Cheese slices
- Roll the Croissants - Gently roll the triangle from the wide base to the pointed tip, enclosing the ham and cheese inside. Place the croissants on a lined baking sheet, making sure the tip is tucked underneath to prevent unrolling.
- Proof the Croissants - Cover the tray loosely with plastic wrap and let them proof at room temperature for 2 hours or until puffed and jiggly.
- Egg Wash and Bake- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Whisk the egg and milk together and brush them lightly over each croissant. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and flaky.
